These various groups are united in their desire for regime change – Sudanese people, who suffer under the weight of terrorism, murder and starvation, displacement and genocide for the past 30 years have decided to revolt against their suppressors. They went out demonstrating in the streets, but the thugs of the government inundated their hands in the blood of the victims they slaughtered and murdered. Internet services are cut off and newspapers are confiscated and offices of news channels and Arab and world satellite channels are closed so as to silence the voice of the people. Since its independence of 1956 to date, Sudan has witnessed 2 attempted revolutions to overthrow the regime. For years, the Sudanese population yearned for …show more content…
Thus adding that the army is well trained and is physically prepared to enforce the commands of president Omer Hassan Al-Bashir to establish security and stability in the country. ‘Battles have been reported to be ongoing in West Kordofan which borders South Sudan between a group of rebels called ‘Girifna’ and the Sudanese army’ (Thousands of Sudan’s NISS members stage show of force in Khartoum, 2014,Para 2-3). Sudan People Liberation Movement North (SPLM-N) which is a member of ‘Girifna’ says that the army would carry out a military campaign to exclude the armed rebellion if the protests and parades do not stop. (Thousands of Sudan’s NISS members stage show of force in Khartoum, 2014,Para 2-3). Statement of the NPA(New Anticapitalist Party): Support to the Sudanese revolution. "The NPA salutes the uprising of the Sudanese people, provides support to them, demands the liberation of the prisoners, truth and justice for the martyrs. The NPA calls all student, political and trade unions forces for mobilization and solidarity with the Sudanese people in struggle for democracy and social justice." (OpenDemocracy, 2013,Para 1-4) Recommendations- The 21ST Century, created what can only be classified as an absolute miscarriage of justice. An estimated figure of about 200 individuals within a matter of days have been imprisoned whilst being tortured and severely beaten. The severity of this outcome in itself is a reflection
In the novel, A Long Walk to Water, the author teaches us about the effects of the war in Sudan, both physically and mentally. The rebels striked all of the people into a state of intimidation, due to how they abide by them for the most part. And if somebody does step out of line, they use violent tactics according to page 12 when the man was hid in the face with the but of a gun from the rebel. Another example of the intimidation was with the woman in chapter 3, she did seem to want to take Salva with her, but could not due to the rebels intimidation. She knew that the rebels would kill them due to the two interacting, the rebels would assume that this was suspicious. The reason why the people kept running and walking was because of the

Students explore the experiences of people of Southern Sudan during and after the Second Sudanese Civil War.
Darfur is the western region of the African country of Sudan. Currently, the people of Darfur have been continually attacked by the Sudanese army and by proxy-militia controlled by the Sudanese government. Families are being uprooted and starved, children tormented and murdered by the thousands and women raped without punishment. Innocent civilians in Darfur continue to be victims of unthinkable brutality. Many people have become homeless and seek protection in refugee camps in Chad. Yet despite its outward appearance, Darfur has a vast ethnic diversity and a complex, ancient system of resolving conflict. Genocide has occurred in several places around the world, but in Darfur there are certain reasons why it
The Sudan Liberation Movement and the Justice Equality Movement took arms against the Sudanese government, which was later named “The War in Darfur”. Which sparked the anger of the government and sent their military to begin murdering many villages, that were non Arabs. In many accounts reported about 2 million were killed over 2 decades.Scarce resources played a huge role in the mass killings of Sudanese (non arab).
Ever since the start of the civil war (December 2013) in South Sudan, tensions have been running high between two opposing groups. Those who support the President, Salva Kiir, and those who support his fired deputy, Rick Machar. This conflict has caused food shortages and disease for many people. The one thing the parties have in common is the brutal violence especially towards women. According to the article,
In recent times, the media has highlighted the genocide that has been occurring in Darfur, Sudan. Darfur, Sudan is a country roughly the size of the state of Texas (Darfur Scores, n.d.). Genocide is the systematic killing of an entire ethnic group of people from a national, ethnic, or religious group, or an attempt to do away with them all (Darfur Scores, n.d.). Beginning around 2003, according to Darfur Scores (n.d.), “the Sudanese government in Khartoum and the government-sponsored Janjaweed militia have used rape, displacement, organized starvation, threats against aid workers and mass murder. Violence, disease, and displacement continue to kill thousands of innocent Darfurians every month.”
The elementary process of liberation within the Sudanese struggle has been poorly narrated. Some people started it from Chapter Four instead of chapter 1,2,3. Nowhere in the world people start reading the book from Chapter 5 leaving chapter
To begin with, the government of Darfur has drastically changed the country into a dystopian society with its actions, and Darfur’s government was not stopped. Darfur is in the middle of a lot of chaos, and the government is only adding to that by sending out the Janjaweed, a government led group who attacks, murders the Darfurians, and destroys their belongings. The government also bombs villages, kills or enslaves survivors of their attacks, taking or destroying food supplies, and polluting the water supply with the dead bodies. The dystopian concept in this society was the government’s attacks showed that they had full control over Darfur, and Sudan was to busy to help. “The first civil war ended in 1972 but broke out again in 1983.

The definition of genocide must of recently changed without many individuals being aware, unless the current ongoing pertinent issue did not want to be addressed in the twenty-first century. In the largest country in Africa, it is unimaginable that a genocide conducted by their government continues while the rest of the world does nothing. The largest country in Africa is Sudan, which is located on the northeastern side of Africa. The western region of Sudan is the primary focus, Darfur. This region of Sudan has experienced for years a consistent war that overtime has become forgotten. In the twenty-first century, it is difficult to realize that an actual genocide is happening. The individuals in this region are experiencing a harsh and difficult life that begin in the year of 2003.
While still struggling to achieve peace with Sudan since its independence in 2011, South Sudan is now rife with inner-conflict. Rebel forces led by the former Vice-President Riek Machar want to overthrow the South Sudanese government, led by President Salva Kiir.
The government of Sudan, a country in Northeast Africa, is committing a horrendous crime against humanity. Genocide is raging on in Western Sudan against poor, helpless, innocent people. It is actually the ten year “anniversary” since the beginning of the Darfur conflict and the genocide still continues on. There are over 1.4 million people who still do not have homes to come back to, and the numbers stack higher every day. Bombings have not stopped, as there was one as recent as February 2013. The Darfur conflict in the beginning was just a brewing disaster and it eventually led to the horrendous genocides in the early 2000s due to early settlement disputes, climate change, and radical Islamic
The origin of the war between these two regions goes back to the 1950s when the country, which was previously two separate nations, was made one after World War II by the west. Shortly after this union, Sudan was emancipated from England. 1983 marks the beginning of the violent relations between the North and South Sudan. The initiation of this conflict was brought forth by the Islamic Sudanese of the North, invading with military force the Southern Sudanese Christians . From 1983, it is estimated that at least two million people have been killed in the violent duration of this genocide, most of whom are of the Christian faith and lead non-violent civilian lives. Attention on human trafficking was brought into the international community’s scope with close proximity to the beginning of the violence as two professors from the University of Khartoum shed light on the subject. Ushari Ahmad Mahumud and Suleyman Ali Baldo learned about the genocide and enslavement being practiced on the Dinka people, a tribal group in the southern Sudan, and upon this discovery they dicided to investigate it further. What they found was that raiders from the north were killing the Southern Christian men and kidnapping the women and children to be sold into slavery. The most disturbing part of this discovery was the newfound knowledge that this had been going on for over two years. Professors Mahumud and Baldo
According to Amnesty International (2012), “throughout Sudan, the government routinely represses human rights defenders, political opponents, and ordinary civilians subjecting many to torture and other forms of ill-treatment.” Since the Darfur conflict erupted in February 2003, systematic human rights abuses have occurred. These abuses include killing, torture, rape, looting and destroying property. All parties have been involved, but these abuses have mostly been committed by the Sudanese government and government-backed Janjawid militia. These attacks have led to the death of hundreds of thousands of people in Darfur, with an estimated two million internally displaced people and another 250,000 refugees
